After the epic Journey through trance last month, we follow up with a very special treat indeed!
We welcome SOLARSTONE back to OTR in style with the official album launch party for there forthcoming album TOUCHSTONE.
In 2008 he produced Rain Stars Eternal, his rebirth 2.0 artist album and in 2009 he imagined and created Electronic Architecture - his IDMA-nominated concept compilation vision. Now, for a new decade, Solarstone returns with… Touchstone.
In ways big and small, conscious or otherwise, inspiration happens to everyone, everyday of their lives. Musicians are perhaps intrinsically even more open to it. Lines thick, thin, straight and curved are drawn to productions that span back over many decades... In his own production work, identifying these inspirations, down to their smallest fraction is something that Solarstone (composer, producer, singer & DJ Richard Mowatt) has long been captivated by.
Touchstone, his new artist album, brings these inspirations out of the cortex and into the light, ‘musically mapping’, for the first time, an artist that has at every turn sought to redefine the word trance.
Supporting on the night we have Dutch legend, SIED VAN RIEL making his OTR debut! Tipped by Tiësto as “the hottest producer around” and by DJ Magazine as “the next big thing to hit trance”. One of Armin van Buuren’s favourite producers of 2008 and according to Ferry Corsten one of THE new Trance Guys. He won the “best new face”Award at the Trance Awards 2008 in London and has spun across the globe on events such as Trance Energy and Gatecrasher,Godskitchen and many many more. Sied describes his brand of music as “deep, driving, warm, melodic-fuelled trance” with each track or remix “directly related to my personality, experiences and state of mind”.
Next up is another massive OTR Dubut from ANJUNA BEATS superstar MARK PLEDGER. Mark Pledger has emerged as a globe trotting star spreading the trance gospel to the far flung corners of the world!" - The Gallery, London Mixmag’s “best thing to happen in trance”, Mark Pledger has rocked The Gallery, Passion, Gatecrasher and Gods Kitchen with his DJ sets. He’s played in Europe, South America, Australia and Asia, and topped off a fantastic 2008 with a New Years Eve gig in India. “…a full-on, energy-exuding club thumper. Bags of melody and a hint of dirty bass distortion culminate in a suitably huge, snare driven payoff…” “…vocals provide the final polish to another goosebump inducer…” Snippets of DJ Magazine 5 star reviews of his tracks that could equally describe Mark’s crowd winning DJ style.
Next up is Australia’s very own DJ ANGE. Fast emerging as 1 of the hottest new talents around, already with hits under her belt such as ‘Seamless’ and ‘watching over me’, she continues to produce some of the freshest and in demand tunes spun by the likes of Ferry Corsten, Sean Tyas and Menno de Jong but to name a few. Definitely 1 to watch out for in 2010!
Completing the line up we have JAHAWI, the competition winner courtesy of SOLARSWARM , and no other than OTR’s very own HIDDENAGENDA which sees the return of Danny Taylor back from his worldwide escapades back behind the plug Decks.
This is 1 night you wont want to miss!!!!
